Pozvolným posouváním páky přípusti plynu dopředu dostal řvoucí motor do vzletových otáček. Konstrukce se zatřásla, když se letadlo silou zapřelo do zarážek pod koly, zoufale se snažící protla- čit se s mužem a jeho strojem vlhkou lepivou hlínou. Lindbergh se naklonil ke trupu, který byl zvenku potažen plátnem, a z otevře- ného okénka vyhlédl na úzkou ranvej letiště Roosevelt Field. Toho sychravého longislandského rána toho venku moc neviděl. Z níz- kých těžkých mraků visely cáry deště a stěží tak mohl zahlédnout linii stromů na východním konci letiště. Přestože byla vzletová dráha hustě posypaná uhlíky, byla pří- liš nasáklá vodou a vlhký mořský vzduch nedodával motoru Wri- ght Whirlwind J-5C potřebný tah. Otáčkoměr, který měří počet otáček motoru za minutu, vykazoval o třicet otáček méně, než byla potřebná hodnota.

In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

RALPH HITZ has a big job on his hands—running one of the nation’s greatest hotels. He has hundreds of men and women to help him. But there’s one job Mr. Hitz doesn’t delegate.

He took off from Etterstad, Christiania (now Oslo). © Rob Mulder - Blériot XI of Michael Carlsson at Rygge Air Show, 2009 Update: The new entries or changes in the text have been marked in blue!

We have tried to publish as many facts as possible. In the period prior to the Great War (better known as the First World War, 1914-1918) many of the aviation events that took place in Norway were organised by the military. These have been taken up in the timeline if they were significant for the development of Norwegian civil aviation. 1852 The first balloon ever to take off from Norwegian soil was made by Johannes Ignatz Lassè, who made two flights from Tyvholmen, near Bygdøy (Christiania, now Oslo). 2 1870 25 November The two French balloon aviators Paul Valery Roliér and Leonard Jules François Bezier arrived after a 15-hour flight from Paris at Lifjell, Telemark. They had departed from Paris the day before for what was to be a simple flight out of the besieged city. Their trip would fly them 1,300 km away from Paris. They bailed out at Lifjell, while the balloon was taken by the wind to Krødsherad.
